Abstract:

Trail design
A quazi randomizedd controlled trial Methods Particpaints
A total of 226 parous women with singleton vaginal delivery at term pregnancy (37 to 42 weeks of gestation) with cephalic presentation. Study participants who had undergone the use of tocolytics drugs for delivery, or caesarian section performed under general anaesthesia were excluded from the study. Moreover, participants with intra-operative complications (bowel injury, bowel adhesions, post-partum haemorrhage and anaesthetic complications) and postoperative complications (postpartum haemorrhage, shock, fever, eclampsia, and use of MgSo4) were excluded from the study. The participants with pre-existing medical conditions like hypertension, diabetes and gastrointestinal diseases were screened off and removed from the study. Additionally, obstructed labour and the use of butrophanone as labour analgesia or postoperative analgesia were excluded. Intervention The study participants were divided into two groups based on the intervention considered. After the participants were selected as per inclusion criteria, an informed consent was taken from all the respondents. The early feeding group was allowed for intake of food after 6 hours of delivery starting with liquid diet followed by solid diet. Similarly delayed feeding group was allowed for intake of food after complete reversal of anaesthesia i.e. 12 hours of delivery starting with liquid diet followed by solid diet.
Outcome
improved patient satisfaction in early feeding group.
Results
The total study participants was 226. The average level of satisfaction of patients in the early feeding group (7.31 ± 0.710) is more than the delayed feeding group (6.47 ± 0.695) with a p-value of 0.001 which is statistically significant.
